MATSim

MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation) is a computer-based tool used to model and analyze transportation systems. It simulates the daily travel behavior of individual people (agents), including their routes, modes of transport, and travel times. By creating a virtual environment that reflects real-world conditions, MATSim helps urban planners and researchers understand how different transportation policies or changes might impact traffic flow, congestion, and access. This insight supports making informed decisions to improve transportation efficiency and reduce environmental impacts.
